Splitsider just released an old clip from the archives at Second City, the improv comedy troupe Bill Murray was a part of before he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live. In it, a mustachioed Murray stomps around and tries to extort money from Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone. It’s shot like an old silent film, complete with dialogue cards, a piano score, and that vaudevillian overacting people did before they realized acting was different on camera. Watch it above and try not to think about how Bill Murray is a mere mortal who has been around for a long time and will probably pass away sometime in the next half century.
